Microsoft signals some improvements in Windows Vista SP2, still not moist and chewy

[wraggster]

It hasn't been too awfully long since Windows Vista SP1 hit the intertubes for real, but the Vista team is already talking up SP2. Granted, we all know Redmond is focused on moving beyond all of this Vista hoopla and forging ahead with Windows 7, but there's apparently still some work to do on the outfit's current OS. Unfortunately, the latest update isn't exactly enthralling, as we're given no set time frame for launch and we're not shown any forthcoming changes that really get our juices flowing. For instance, Vista SP2 will add Windows Search 4.0 for faster and improved relevancy in searches, the Bluetooth 2.1 Feature Pack, ability to natively record data on Blu-ray media and Windows Connect Now (WCN) to simplify WiFi configuration. Wait, did you just yawn? You did. We saw it.

I admit im liking the recordable onto blu-ray - but isn't this a bit of a u-turn on microsoft's part?

I know HD-DVD is dead as the dodo but it isn't like microsoft to pull such a u-turn (or is it? i can never tell with them haha)

maybe they have finally seen that blu-ray won and they lost. A blu-ray player for 360 could still be on the way
